"Here is told in great detail and with amorous precision the life story of Burton, from his birth and background to his entry into the Indian Army (complete with false wig and bull terrier)!; from his experiences as a young officer and his attainment of great proficiency as a liguist [sic] to his appointment as Consul at Fernando Po; and from intimate details of his domestic life to an account of his explorations in Central Africa and eventually of how he came to undertake the literary task by which he is chiefly remembered"--dust jacket.
